Hi Jim,

I saw a box of 11x14 Fuji Provia at Hunt's a couple of weeks
ago with my own eyes.  The Fuji rep was there and had to tell 
them that they had it.  They couldn't believe it !  The Fuji rep
would not comment on whether they are still making them or not
though.  His answer is that you can still buy them.
